    my 85 318i project

    its a 5 spd, the paint was a mess when i got it so i sprayed it satin black for now (i'm planning on a full respray down the road)

    its lowered on H&R's, i tucked the bumpers, and yes the trim looks horrible, but i'm not sure what direction i'm gonna go with the bumpers so i figure why waste money on them if they end up coming off.

    the wheels are some oldschool work ewing emotions 16x7+25 offset.
    the car hadent been washed in weeks in these pics but when is close to or below freezing its kinda hard to do.

    Looks like a good start. The satin black works on that car. If you had some tinted windows it would really set it off.

        Looks pretty good. I like the blue trim on the rims. Paint the lugs black. Love Estes Park. Do they still have the manequin that sits in the cop car? I drove by a "cop" sitting in a Wagoneer and turned around to ask directions. DUR!

          i agree about the tint, the tan interior kinda throws off the look, i do plan on swapping out the door cards for black ones and adding black bucket seats, but i need tint of some sort
